Marzipan cake with raspberry and lime for New Year 2017

At Midnight New Year´s Eve it is tradition to enjoy marzipan cakes (kransekage) together with champagne/sparkling wine, when the bell will ring it´s 12 strokes.

This year I have been using this recipe from Femina on raspberry - lime marzipan cake.  I think, that my good friends in Horsens are relieve to see, that no liquorice is part of these marzipan cake :-)

The advantage of baking your own marzipan cakes is, that you decided on both the sweetness level as well as the taste of these cakes, if you want to twist the taste. For other suggestions for marzipan cake
